For many travelers, the main reason they go
to Tibet is to see the amazing view of the famous north face of Mount Everest.
You will get a clear view of Mount Everest at Everest base camp in Tibet. I
list several great ways to Everest base camp. All you need to do is to pick and
choose your favorite ways to Everest base camp.

#1 Trekking to Mount Everest base camp

Trekking to north Everest base camp in
Tibet is the very popular itinerary for those travelers who want to view the
world’s highest mountain -Mt.Everest. Trekking from Rongbuk Monastery to
Everest base camp (8 km) is a classic part of hiking from Tingri to Mount
Everest base camp.

The best time to trek to EBC in Tibet is
from April to the end of May and from September to November because from July
to August, it was a rainy season and not suitable for trekking.

There are two main routes to trek to EBC in
Tibet: one is from the village of Baber which often referred to as the "New
Tingri” to the Mount Everest base camp going via the villages of Chay, Tashi
Dzom, and Basum village. This route usually takes about four days, and you will
trek to Everest base camp along the newly paved road. In my view, this is not a
good route, because except for the magnificent view of the Himalaya Mountains
from Geu La pass, the scenery of Mount Everest and other Himalaya mountains is
not very good to see until you get close to Rongbuk Monastery.

The other more interesting route is
trekking from old Tingri to EBC. This route is about 70 kilometers and you can
complete it in three or four days. There are several small villages along the
way. Besides enjoying the beautiful scenery of Mount Everest, you can also get
excellent views of Cho Oyu, which is the 6th highest peak in the world, and
several other peaks above 6000 meters. It is quite difficult to do trekking at
high altitude. You not only need a variety of trek equipment and a tour guide
but also cook and live in the field. It will be an unforgettable experience in
a lifetime.

#2 Driving to Everest base camp

Driving to Mount Everest base camp, isn't
it much of a sense? No wonder, even as my family and friends, when I was happy
to share with them I would drive to the Mount Everest base camp, I lost my
marbles. Actually, we can drive to Mount Everest base camp in Tibet instead of
giving up to those very popular but long and tired hiking options.

There are two routes to drive to the Mount
Everest base camp in Tibet. One is starting from Lhasa, through Gyantse,
Shigatse, you can see the charming Yamdroktso Lake, the spectacular Karola
Glacier, and famous Pelkor Chöde Monastery along the way, then drive to Everest
base camp via Old Tingri. Although Everest base camp in Nepal is only
accessible by trekking or helicopters, there is a vehicular access to north
Everest base camp in Tibet（5200 meters）. Since Tibet Kyirong border was opened for foreign travelers on Aug
29th, 2017, more and more travelers want to drive to Everest base camp in Tibet
from Kathmandu. We have several great Nepal-Tibet overland tour group packages.
One of our best advantages is to provide a chartered car from Kathmandu to
Tibet without waiting for the bus for hours on Kyirong border. That’s what
other Tibet travel agencies can't do.

#3 Cycling from Lhasa to Mount Everest base
camp (713 km):

A cycling tour is a refreshing way to see
Everest base camp. Bike trip in Tibet is sure to capture your heart as you take
time to indulge in a slower paced lifestyle. It takes about six days from Lhasa
to the Mount Everest base camp. The journey will pass through eight mountains,
with an average altitude of more than 4000 meters above sea level, which
including Gampala pass (4978m), Shimla Mountain (4352m), Longnongla Pass
(4534m), Karola mountain (5039m), Nameless Mountain (4058m), ), Jiacuola
Mountain (5248m), Gawula Pass (5208m), Everest base camp in Tibet (5200m).

Today, the journey to Everest base camp has
become an achievable goal for travelers who want a glimpse of the world's
highest peak. From now on, just make a good plan for a trip to Mount Everest base camp in Tibet. It will be unforgotten experience in your lifetime.
